Note

The recipe directions list additional ingredients not in the ingredient list: 1/3 cup fine dried breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup chopped pistachios, 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons butter or margarine. Ensure you have these on hand.

For best results, use large, firm mushrooms that can hold the stuffing well. Clean mushrooms with a damp cloth rather than washing them to prevent sogginess.

Watch closely while broiling as mushrooms can burn quickly. Rotate the pan halfway through if your broiler has hot spots.

Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but the texture will be softer upon reheating.
